The diagnosis of the predominant haemoglobinopathies (sickle-cell anaemia, thalassemias) is routinely performed in our laboratory.
The first approach is capillary electrophoresis of haemoglobin. If a haemoglobin variant is detected, two other techniques are used to identify this variant: HPLC and acid gel electrophoresis. Eurofins Biomnis collaborates with research groups on haemoglobinopathies at Lyon Hospital to identify rare phenotypic variants of haemoglobin and to investigate the globin genes.
